The best astrology book of all time,
By
This review is from: Astrology, Karma and Transformation: The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart (Paperback)
If I was asked to choose between all my astrology books to pick one and only one to take with me on a desert island, I would pick Mr Arroyo's classic Astrology Karma and Transformation. In fact when I moved to the USA from England with only my backpack this book was with me. Why? It contains the most profound psychologically and spiritually insightful astrology that you can get your hands on. In fact, this book is almost a shame to read, because once you have read it, you will be hard pushed to find a better astrological text...Arroyo here talks about the chart and particularly about the aspects and transits of Saturn and the outer planets, not with a cookbook approach but with the insight of the very special humanistic alchemy that carachterizes Arroyo's work. Drawing for Jungian concepts, psychology and spirituality Arroyo brings to life the birth chart and its players and weaves meaning into the life experience. And his writing is so beautiful, profound and yet simple, deep but easy to grasp. I love this man, such a jewel of mind and wisdom for us to enjoy... In the book you will also find lots of stuff about the ascendant, transits, progressions, little bits and pieces of information that, even years after , you will refer to and think about and mull over in your mind. This is one of those books with that magical holographic quality, where every time you read it, it expands and you see stuff you had not seen before... If I had to reccommend one book for you not to miss, this would be the one. Buy it. You will treasure it for life!

Yet another Arroyo groupie!,
By
This review is from: Astrology, Karma and Transformation: The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart (Paperback)
This was the first book in astrology I ever bought, amazing seeming it was over 20 years ago just after it was first published. This book has an energy about it, as obviously from the previous reviews, Stephen Arroyo has IT, he is the consummate humanistic astrologer who can give people the absolute astrological stuff that we need when we need it. Very much in the same area of astrology as Liz Green, yet in my opinion much more easily accessible, for as much as I adore Liz Greene's work, it can be quite intense and needs many readings to take in what she is saying. All of Stephen Arroyo's books are a joy to read, this one being my favourite. If you love astrology you need to do yourself a favour and buy this book.

Elucidating,
By abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (The Carolinas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Astrology, Karma and Transformation: The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart (Paperback)
Well written, but lacking in particulars like planets in houses, specific aspects, ect. He doesn't make a distinction between a square and opposition, he just calls them 'dynamic.' While both aspects to tend to be aversive, they are aversive in different ways. Nevertheless, Arroyo is a talented astrolger, and I especially like the footnotes he included in this book, which refer you to other books he has found helpful in his studies. The books he recommends treat the topics he presnts in a general manner in a much nore specific way. There is no denying there is much relevant knowledge here, and that makes this book a quick read that wasn't expensive, either.
